PATRONISED BY HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE 

 QUEEN, HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF RUTLAND, HIS 

 GRACE THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH, THE EARL 

 OF HARRINGTON, THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL, THE 

 LORD BISHOP OF LONDON, LORD VISCOUNT LORTON,

YOUELL and CO. take the present opportunity to 



state that the above unequalled RASPBERRY is to beobtained 

 only at their Nursery or of their Agents, a list of whom appeared 

 on the Advertising Sheet of last week's Gardeners' Chronicle; 

 and they recommend their friends to be cautious of whom they 

 purchase, as another Raspberry, under the above title, has been 

 substituted by certain parties as the "true variety."

TO MELON GROWERS. 



IRISH'S EARLY CANTALOUPE and HARDY 



-L GREEN-FLESH MELONS. The above are recommended 

 to all Melon-growers, as, independent of the good quality of 

 the Fruit, they are so hardy as to require comparatively little 

 attention ; a fact of considerable importance where fuel is 

 expensive, and fermenting material a scarce commodity. Both 

 sorts were awarded Certificates of Merit at Regent-street, 

 London; the Cantaloupe on the Jth of May, described as 

 "good early fruit j" and the Green-fleshed on the 4th of June, 

 described as "capital green Melon, highly fragrant, and weigh- 

 in? nearly 5 lbs." The Cantaloupe grows from 4 to 6 lbs. in 

 weight. Fruit was exhibited ill July at Chiswick, weighing 

 4 lbs. U oz., and the fifth crop is maturing in November, from 

 the same plants cut from in May. Specimens of the Green- 

 fleshed, from the same plants cut from in June, were exhibited 

 at Regent-street, on the 1st Oct., weighing 3 lbs. each. These 

 have been crown on dune: beds, as described in the Chronicle 

 of the "th May and 1st October. 



Youki.i. and Co. having purchased of Mr. Fish the entire 

 stock of Seed of the above most desirable Melons, for the first 

 time offer it to growers, being fully confident of its realising 

 all the merits ascribed to it. Sealed packets, containing three 

 seeds of each, 6s., sent per post, free. 



Great Yarmouth Nursery, Nov. 30, 1844. 



rpHE FILBY, or FASTOLFF RASPBERRY.— 



J- At the request of some gentlemen living in the neighbour- 

 hood of Yarmouth, T. RIVERS begs to submit the history of 

 this really excellent Raspberry to the public. In the year 1314 

 Colonel Lucas, of Filby, a place lying between Norwich and 

 Yarmouth, discovered a Raspberry plant growing under an old 

 Laurel hedge in his garden. His attention was drawn to it, 

 and he soon found it to be a superior and delicious variety, so 

 that in a short time every other sort was ejected from his 

 garden, and this alone cultivated. It was not, however, till 

 1824 that he allowed his gardener to part with it, who then gave 

 canes to his neighbours, and by this means it got to be culti- 

 vated in Caistor, Ormsby, and, in fact, in all the neighbour- 

 hood, under the name of the Filby Raspberry, to the exclu- 

 sion of all other sorts. It has latterly often been called the 

 Caistor Raspberry, from the Market Gardeners growing it in 

 that parish. In Caistor is an old castie in ruins, that formerly 

 belonged to the Fastolff family : the latter name was given to 

 the variety by Youeli. and Co., when they first began to sell the 

 canes. The fruit upon which Dr. Livdlkt pronounced his 

 opinion was gathered in the Filby garden, now the property of 

 the Rev. G. Lucas, who authorises and permits the publication 

 of the above facts; and has also permitted his Gardener to 

 supply the Canes after this date to T. RIVERS only. 



Canes are sold at 30*. per 100, or 6s. per score, carriage paid 

 to London. Charge for package, for small parcels, 6d., for 

 large do., Is. to Is. 6d. Orders to any amount can be executed. 

 The Trade price will be given on application.

FASTOLFF RASPBERRY. 

 J. Bell begs to correct the statement in the Gardeners' Chro- 

 nicle two weeks since, respecting the above Raspberry havir 

 been originated in W. Jary, Esq.'s garden, at Burlingham. It 

 was first discovered in Col. Lucas's garden at Filby, as stated 

 by Mr. Rivers, and the first canes of it given to Mr. Perfect, 

 gardener to W. Jary, Esq., by W. Reynolds, the then gardener 

 at Filby. 



J. B. begs to assure his numerous friends, whom he has sup- 

 plied with Canes of the above Raspberry, that they may rely on 

 their being the True Fastolff, and that no spurious sort is known 

 about this part of the country, as stated in the Messrs. Youell's 

 Advertisement last week.
